Hot take: 5’6 guy on Hinge talks about winning his heart by taking him out to concert or comedy show, and his relationship goal is long term open to short. - Sir you are 35 and 5’6, let’s start there.

It’s wild how some people reduce someone’s worth down to just height. Dating would be so much better if character mattered more. I’m a tall woman, and I’ve never had an issue dating guys shorter than me.

I read through your post and understand what you are trying to say - but your initial wording screams that you are judging a man on his height.

While OP is definitely being harsh, I find it hilarious how fast this got 49 comments. Hit ‘em where it hurts 🤣

All the men who comment on my post : I simply evaluate my date based on how would a man evaluate a woman.
“She is the have fun type” “ she is the wife material” “ she is good for the money”

Don’t even pretend you will treat your date/situation-ship, girlfriend (but not gonna marry her) , exactly same way you will treat you future wife.

I date like how a man would date a woman.
Fair is fair

If you drafted this to post here I would've told you to remove all references to height ( I understand what you saying but men will not) and lean more into the problem being that he is open to both long and short term relationships and how women won't be able to figure out if that means he's dating with intention or not. Also the perception of not being able to lean either way at 35 and what that says about his character.

And I have 0 expectation for you could possibly comprehend such complex thoughts process.

Not a hot take at all. You sound like a lot of basic women out there.

This is ironic.

I've never taken that Hinge prompt/question as a first date requirement or even idea. I also don't see what the issue with the "Long term relationship, open to short" aspect is.

Being 5'9" I hope that makes me tall enough to comment on this thread.

OP and the men reading, I have seen posts of some among you that pay for sexual services like it's seamless. Debate marriage to women based on their total comp. Other such threads. I have read the replies and would like to note that NO ONE has made the kind of character discections as you have over this post. Modern era is doomed by the double standards you push and I mainly don't engage because it's is of no surprise to me how redpilled the western man has become. Where objectification can only come one way. Look at yourselves for a bit and ask about the contents of your character, if you all are consistent about your behavior. Just a thought
